Wonders sure will never cease! By submarine and European telegraph, we learn the settlement of the Turkish question, The news is dated Vienna, Feb. 26, evening. According to telegraphic message forwarded from Trieste, at*4 o'clock this day, Comte V. Leinin- gen has just landed there, on his return from Con- stantinople, the Porte haying complied with all the demands of Austria, Although this account contradicts all alarming re- ports accredited on the Bourse of Vienna to-day, it meets with general credence. ¥ ‘The message in question was addressed by Comte V. Leiningen himself to the cabinet of the Emperor. This account is since confirmed by two other mes- sages. . The troops in march for Croatia had received counter orders. The last bulletin represents the recovery of the pod sit of Austria as going on in the most satisfac- ry manner. i couriers have arrived from Italy, in consequence ie snow. There is no news of importance in Paris. The funds have risen, ar the intelligence that the affair of Turkey is settled. The 3 per cents closed at 80f. 20; the fe pee cents, at 105f.90; and the bank shares, at 2,800f. ‘Twenty-five thousand soldiers are to be encamped round London during the summer months. We Britishers must look out for squalls, since the good and loyal inhabitants of the old town of Ex- mouth are in a fearful state of excitement, in conse- sense, of two French steamers having, with remark- able mystery, recently taken the soundings of that port and the surrounding coast. Louis will come, I make no doubt of it, but not @/a Julius Csar. Oh, no; rather in the style of Mr. Smith the flunkey, i. e. Louis Philippe. It is pores that the Austrian government has resolved to demand the extradition, or, at least, the expulsion of Kossuth, Mazzini, and the other refugees now fomenting revolution abroad under the shelter of British hospitality; and that, on the anticipated failure of this demand, the governments of Russia, Prossia, and of France, are prepared to address a joint note to the same effect. In the event of a con- tinued refusal, we are threatened with the withdrawal of their ambassadors, and probable warlike results of our presumed destitute position. England is and ever will be the asylum of nations; and not all the bullying of all’ these despotic governments would induce us to betray those who have sought shelter in our little sea-girt isle. We can afford to nisk the last drop of our blood in such a cause; and I feel persuaded that Yankee Doodle would rile up, and f°, band-in-hand with us against such an array of eadstrong, reckless, cruel, and cold-blooded des- ots. The Old ’Un and the Young ‘Un, with “Yan- ee Doodle” and “(God Save the Queen” to pipe them on, would mow down more impediments than twenty times their stay. “Omnes omnium charitates patria una eomplectitior,”” Europe, aye, the world, has always respected the asylum of these isles, and all grades of society, from countries, have profited by itin their time. Kings, ete ministers, and red republicans, of the seediest lescription, have all peopled the colony of Leicester square; and surely some gratitude is due from these men, (many now in power,) for shelter so comforta- ble at the time, and so useful in its results. “La perfide Albion” is and ever shall be the safe port in @ political inundation on the continent. Bristle up, Brother Jonathan ! bristle up! Ere long you'll have a similar letter from this pudding-headed Austrian potentate—this King of Assassins—whose murderous muskets shot down the patriot Robert Blum, and whoee fell mandates caused poor defenceless women to be flayed alive, and many noble heads to fall. Is it for a moment to be wondered at that the pro- jected assassination of sovereigns has of late years en @ matter of juent occurrence, whilst, & my memory eerves me ht,) no such an attempt has ever been made on the life of an American Presi- dent? The reason is obvious. Emperors, kings, and eens are no longer dla mode. Like powder, Hes- | sian boots; and knee unwhisperables, royalty shou‘d } long since have been replaced. We would have free | and enlightened governments, far less expensive, and | better calculated to insure the prosperity of nations, | than the presumed exercise of ‘divine grace,” which thrusts the most callous hearted, blood-thirsty mis- creants upon European thrones, and gives them | savage yoke of their abominable despotisms. If Austria, Russia, Prussia and France, wish to disarm the refugee, let them restore confidence at home, for a really good government can afford not to mind them, but such a’ government, me- thinks, exists not on this side the herring pond. The Cpinione, of Turin, of the 24th ult.,publishesa letter from Genoa, of the 23d, which states that the | steamer had brought news from Leghorn that some | sailors, belonging to an English corvette there, being on shore, had cried out “ Vrve Italie!” and had been instantly arrested by the Austrians. Some stated that, at the earnest protestations of the English | captain, the Austrians had set the sailors at liberty; but others, who thought themselves better informed, | declare that the Austrians have refused to release them, and that, in consequence, the corvette had sailed to bring the English squadron to support the honor of its flag. | Vessels, surcharged with auriferons dust, continue to arrive almost daily from Australia. The accounts they bring from the gold ficlds show a continuance | of the astonishing yield from the mines lately opened, and mention the discovery of fresh deposits on the Koorang river, which bid fair to eclipse all pre- vious discoveries, the metal being of exceeding purity, and found more commonly in the form of small zHeges than in the scattered state, which renders the laborious eee of washing indispensable in | other places. From the Huchunga diggings, near | Adelaide, the intelligence is equally favorable. | “Pounds weight of gold,” writes the government commissioner, ‘‘are spoken of now as commonly as ounces were formerly.” Still, great numbers of | persons are disappointed, and the general rate of | Wages shows a downward tendency in the price of | Jabor; and provisions have fallen considerably in the ae owing to the supplies pouring in from all ; juarters. ‘ As usual, I will wind up with a few things theatri- cal.

Fortunately—for these would be dangerous men—they had plotted nothing of the kind; there was not the least proof or testimony against them, and they were set free on Friday morning, after having spent twenty-four hours in prison. On Friday last, another sort of apprehension was felt in the ward of the Bourse, which is the rendezvous of all speculators. It had been rumored in the morning that the Emperor of Austria was dead, that the French army had orders to invade the canton of Ticino, and that the Montenegro people had been crushed to pieces by the Turkish troops. .As soon as the Bourse opened the funds went down; and though it was known before the end of the meeting that the above reported rumors had no foundation, the stocks remained at a sensible depression. On Tuesday last the same thing took place, under the pretext that the Austrian ambassador at Constantinople, Count Leiningen, had returned to Trieste without satisfaction for the claims he had made in favor of the Christian population of Bosnia, for the cession of two ports in Dalmatia, for the admission of Hungarians in the ranks of the Tarkish army, and also for certain commercial difficulties. All these rumors were proved false, and the funds returned] to the poiat which they had been in possession of during the last month, with a few excéptions. At the Tuileries politics are dull; and the Emperor oc- cupies bis evenings either in going with the Empress to different theatres or in giving oficial receptions to the different members of the government and their wives, who are precented to him and to her by the Master of Ceremonies. The Council of State, Court of Cassation, and Tribunal of First Prosecution, (premiére tinsance, were visited by the imperial} couple ‘on the 26th Feb- ruary. There was also a concert at the Tuileries on Sun- day last, and tonight there will be a soirée intime, to which will be invited only those who are considered to be on private terms of intimacy with the imperial family. Several other meetings of the Council of State have taken place at the Tuileries, at which Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, and all the ministers of the empire, were pres- ent. ‘Ihe debates at these sittings have only had refer- ence to tho regulation of the budget. It appears that Louis Napoleon has manifested his wish that the budget would be presented“‘square,” thatis to say, the expenses be balanced with thereceipts, no matter how the millions have been spent. Verhaps it will be rather difficult to ub- tain this result; but Zlest avecle ciel des accom as Molicre rays, and no doubt all will be right. A million taken from the dotation of the Emperor will be distributed to the members of his family in the fol- lowing manner:—100,000 francs to Prince of Canino; 100,000 franes to Prince Pierre Bonaparte; 100 000 francs to Prince Antoine Bonaparte; 100,000 francs to Princess Camerata Bacchiochi; 100,000 francs to Prince Lucien Murat; 60,000 fratics to the Indies belonging to tho Mu- rat family, and 25,000 franes to the daughters of Lucien Bonaparte. The remainder of the million is distributed toother Princes of the Bonaparte family unknown to me. Arother batch, of one hundred and fifty persons, who had been sentenced either to prison or to exilo, have bien set freo, or received permission to return to #rance, by a deeree signed on the 22d ult. The sittings of the two constituted bodies of France— the Sevate and the Legislative Assembly—are as dul! possible. ‘Ihe only important fact worth being mention. 4, is the refusal of Messrs. ae Morode and Bouchier de 1Felure to taketh oath of a fo the E . Their refural has created much scandal and ft hasbeen mored that they would receive orders to leave Paris. The last government who had not yet acknowledged the Empire—P) azil—has sent new credentials to the Marquis of Lisboa, the Minister residing \in Paris, who presented them on Friday last, in great gala, and was received with much courtesy by the Emperor. Itis rumored thst Louis Napoleon and the Empress Eugenie will spend two munths next summer at the Cas- tle of Pan, and also enter the Pyrénéea, at Bagnires de Bi- gorre, Bayonne and Blaritz. ‘The Castle of Yan is now in the hands of the architects, who are repairing it from the cellars to the roof. The Emperor, who professes a a | great respect for the memory of his mother, vould be glad to cce again Luz, St. Sanveur, Cauteretz, Gavarnie, which were visiled by Queen Hortense. The Empress Fugenie, who, before her marriage, was in the habit of spending every summer at Kaax Bonnes, spoke, Sunday last, to the deputy of the Basse Alps, who was 'present- ed to her, and eaid to him a few words, which had a suf. ficient signification about the decided project of their Majesvies to visit the southeast ef France. Mme Countess of Montijo was met on her way to Spain, near the frontiers—at Bayonue—by the Duchess of Albe, her davghter, and they have both returned to Ma- arid. ‘The National Guard, which since the coup d'état had not been aémitted to share with the army the guard of Paris, has resumed, since the Ist instant, ail the former positions which were oceupied by its diiferent batallions, ‘he citizen militia do not rcem to be much satisfied at this recovation of annoyances of all kinds. King Jerome and his son, Prince Napoieon Bona- parte, will soon be installed ‘at the Palais Royal. The architects, masons, and workmen of all kinds, are en gaged night and day in painting, gilding, and furnishing the Palais. It is rad that the Pope will be received there in May, when he will come to Paris. M. ‘de Lavalette has obtained his wish to be re- laced at Constantinople by M. de Lacour, who was fimeelt ambassador of France at Vienna. M. de La- cour is replaced by M. de Bourgueney. M. de La- velette returns to Paris on account of his health, which was £0 bad by the last accounts that he sould not romain there without endangering his life. His lady, whom I saw a few days ago, assured me that she had suffered herself | from the uvhealthy climate of Const The only correspondents who ha frcm custody at Mazas, are Me Dupont, de Lamenfels, Hartman, and do St. Pierre. Messrs de Virmastro, and Ccetlogan, are still kept prisoners by the Imperial govern- ment, ‘They are accused of being leaders of secret sceie- 8. Ihave seen a relative of one of these geatlemen, told me that they knew nothing about their af- , and could not tell when they would be released. The police endeavor to force them to take the oaths of alle- gionce to the Emperor, and they refuse most obstinately to do it. ‘A warning was given on Tuesday last to the Presse and antinople, tely been released | Ascemilee Naticnale, owing to the publication of corta’n articles which were considered ag hostile to the govern- ment. By a regulation of the police, every lithographed corres- pondence will be, for the future, subject to a bail of fifty thousand francs, ‘There are in Paris about ten offices of correspondenee, which will be totally broken down by this new political decree. In Spain a change of some importance has taken place inthg winistry, Count ée Morasal, (Rafail de Aristig- Fomento, gave in his resignation, on the ground that he wap in bad health, and was replaced by Don Antonio Ben- avidis, Minister of the Interior. Narvacr, who is now in Paria, on his way to Vienna, had tried oil means to be recalled; but seeing the im: possibility of realizing his wishes, he decided to submit pie fate, and he leaves tomorrow for his expected exile. In Italy, the late insurrection at Milan has caused the greatest stupor all over the country. It is proved that the revolutionary conspirators of Italy, advised by Maz- zini, bad resolved to begin again the battle, aud though they were betrayed to the Austrian powers; they would, erhaps, have succeeded, if some of them, the leaders, had not been taken by a panic or fright. ‘These carbonart bad already written down the constitution of the new Italy and all the regulations to be decreed after their vic- tory. Unfortunately, they were defeated in their project, and they will pay with their heads the debt they owe to Austria. At the same time, Mazzini comes out in a letter, pane in Europe by some of the vara’ newspapers, in whick he explains that the letter of Kossuth to the Hungarian soldiers was really genuine, (my readers will remember that I always said s0,) and that Kossuth had written it while he was at Kutayah, before his visit to the United States, The only change that Mazzini had mado in the letter was that oj its date; and this is not much after all. All those who bad closety followed the speeches of Kossuth in America, and had read the letter, knew well it was from Kossuth, and Kossuth himself’ could not deny it. Re pplatind and exiles are made upon a large scale in Italy. Several of the emigrés who were residing at Gonoa, arrt t Nico on the 24th ult., accompanied by a police- man, and were placed under the custody of the French government, who will send them to America if before two months they haye not obtained leave to reside anywhere in Europe. Several agents of emigrant companies have proposed to the Swiss government of Ticino to transport, for a small amount of money, all the persons who would be forced to Teave the country. We do not know the answer as yet.

Never has such extraordinary weather been witnessed in France. It snows, it hails, it thunders, it lightnings and it blows; and the only thing which is unpleasant is the cold, which is, for the last seven days, as intense as it would be in New York during the coldest season of the year. On Thursday evening last, while it was snowing very heavily, the horizon was suddenly illuminated by lightning, which, at regular intervals, appeared five times like fireworks, followed by thunder, as powerful as can- nonshot. The some natural phenomenon was witnessed during the night, from three to half-past threc. While this was going on, the wind blew like on a lee shore, during a severe gale, and the chimneys were upset in sev- eral places in Paris, to the great damage of the household- ers, and also tothe damage of some “heads,” which were wounded by the falling of bricks and stones. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday last, we had a mild snow storm, but the snow melted as quickly as it touched tho ground. Yesterday we had the same weather raging over Paris during the morning; after which the sun shone out, and we enjoyed a superb afternoon. From the proyinoes we have received intelligence that the snow has covered the ground in several places about afoot and half deep. On the railway between Paris and Strasbourg, which is now the way to Germany, and the most frequented by travellers, the snow fell in such larg quantities on Friday and Saturday Jast that the train were stopped at Bar and Commercy, 1,200 workmen, either of the civil or military order, were taken to the railway, and employed to disengage the rails and sweep the way; but, despite their efforts, the railway was only putinto use on Monday last. Tho passengers who left Paris for Strasbourg on faturday morning, and were to arrived in the evening at nine o'clock, were detained till Monday, at ten o’clock, along the road—some spending their nights in the wagons, for want of means to go to the hoigi¢—others sleeping in the taverns rear'the sta- tions They Were elt tea by the sdrinietnntion. whi provided them with two meals » day—breabfast am supper. Ta the Paltic fea the cold is ro intense that many ports ave blockaded by fee, and the navigation is totally inter- rupted, A the South of Europe, in Spain, the cold is also con- siderable, ‘Two persons, aman and his wife, were frozen on the shores of the Mancanariy river, near Madrid; and the stage coaches were stopped by the snow sterm, at Buidrago, near the Sierra Morena, ‘At Nice—where, since 1819, no snow had berm geen by the inhabitants and fashionable strangers whe spend the wiater season in that city, renowned for its warm climate—snow fell in such ebundance, on Thursday and Friday of last week, that the agriculturists of the place are fearful about their orange and olive trees, Asa matter of course, wild animals, who leave their dens in the cold weather, bave invaded our roads and are dai y attacking the sheep and poultry of the farmer. An immense number of wolves are now making their excur- sions in the country, and the government is daily paying the premium of twenty francs per head for any numbec of these animals shot by peasants and gamekeepers. A huge animal, a che wolf, weighing two hundred pounds, was killed by agentleman ot my acquaintance, on Sunday last, at Bondy, Paris, which is to be stuifed and placed in the musoum of the Jardin des Plantes, The carnival is resuming its funny scenes for this day and night only, it being the mé-careme, as termed here, otherwise the Half Lent. Fortunately f6r those who are desirous of making their appearance in fancy costume and to parade the streets of Pari is bright and the temperature ig dry. ‘Thus, everythin 3 us to sup. pose that the last breathing of the carnival will be very | amusing. Balls of all sorts are numerous; and I have here, laying before me on my tadle, sixteen invitations to go to private or public parties, whieh, I am sorry to say, Teannot attend to.

The President of the United States assumes, this day, the supreme in that great commonwealth, and en- ters upon the duties of the office to which he was elected in December last by a large majority of his fellow citi- zens in almostevery State of the Union. No man has ever commenced his high political career under circum- stances more favorable than General Pierce. He finds his country in a state of universal and unexampled ity. No queslion of ite interest or urgent ravity demands prompt solution or threatens the in- grity of the Union. The majority, which bas snddenly borne him from a comparatively obscure position to be the temporary head of powerful nation, seems at once to prescribe his policy and to regulate his course of action, may snticipate that the pohey of the United States will henceforward be more openly directed to the unrestricted freedom of commercial intercourse, both with the contiguuos provinces of the British empire and with foreign coun- tries. And even on those territorial questions which are apttoexcite tho passions of the American people, and sometimes threaten to embroil them with their neighbors, General Pierce takes the government in an interval of re- pose, when the relations of the Union with every part of the world are tranquil, and we bope. pacific. In com- menting upon the discussions which have saiely, occurred in the public assemblies of the United States, it is well to bear in mind that much more is said than is meant or will be done. Mr. Cass’ declamatory orations on the Monroe doctrine were qualified by his own sturdy opposi- tion to the schemes of the buccaniers on Cuba; and we have reason to hope that the fervid appeals made to the sions of the nation on some delicate points of interna- ional Jaw will havo vo serious effect on the policy of the Union towards the rest of the world. General Pierce has observed a most discreet and states- manlike reserve duriug the whole period whith has elapsed between his election and his induction to office. He has carefully avoided all those demonstrations which popular enthusiasm and curiosity would readily havo awarded to a successful candidate. He has not allowed a pledge to pass his lips in public, or a written declaration te proceed from his pen. So little is known of his past life beyond tho boundaries of New Hampshire that he is un- fettered by anything he may have said or done in any former capacity; and though it must be confessed that the credit he has hitherto obtained is in a great mea- sure hypothetical, no one ever succeeded betier in pre- serving the mystery of undisclosed greatness, or in avoiding the e rrassments that precede office. Eyen the selection of his confidential advisers has been kept a profound tecret, and in a country where every- thing is bruited about, and every schome discussed be- forehand by a million of voices, the real character and policy of the new government at Wash*ngton is as little to be guessed at as the name of a pope Ina newly assem- bled conclave, or the policy of an absolute sovereign who has just ascended the throne. Probably the reason of the apparent indifference of the American people to those considerations, which would seem to be of essential con- pos oan under an elective government, is that they are well assured that, under any men whatsoever, the course of public affairs will be pretty nearly the same. ‘They re- gard the first officers of State as the servants rather than the rulers of the people, and they are satisfied with the conviction that whoever may be trusted with the man- serene of public affairs will aspire only to do their idding. It is due, however, to the statesmen of tho whig party in the United State:—of whom in an official capacity we now take leave for some time—to acknowledge the ability and prudence with which they have on maay occasions uninstrucied or misguided, especially an questions affect- ing the relations of the Union with foreign powers. That is the lasting glory of Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and ore recently of Mir. Everett ; and althongh they’ have cer- tainly never sacrificed one jotot what could be considered their national rights in the widest interpretation, they haye witely and honorably endeavored, sometimes at the Titk Of ODiOquy aua wesnourey ¢e reuavve by ueputlution difficulties which ‘afforded grounds of agitation to the more factious portion cf the community, not only against the government. but against its foreign allies, In the very laet communication addressed by Mr. Everett to the Senate we havea striking example of the results of this good feeling and forbearance, and it may possibly teach even General Cass a lesson to find that, at the very time when he was mischtevously laboring to ex: tract a quarrel out of the treaty of Great Britain for the | establishment of a ship canal through Central America, the British government was, in tion with the American Secretary of State, dispacsic considering the best means of securing the independence of that pas- sage, and freely resigning some of th which it has long exercised over a portion of those terri- tories. It may Ve in the recollection of our Feaders that we have more than once discussed te anomalous and inconvenient claims on the Mosquito coast, to which Lord Palmerston appeared, when he ‘hed the office of Foreign Seeretary, to attach en undue tanee. He even traced the boundary line of across the swamps and sierras of Hondures, and invested an illiterate and half clothed savage with the attributes of sovereignty as king of the Mosquitoes, though the power exercised in his name really belonged either to British subjects or more lately to a committee of Ameri- can citizens. Lord John Russell has very wisely p end to this farce, which exposed us to tlie reaper y of defending the independence of a territory not our own; and he has thus given, both to the United States and to Contial America, the ‘strovgest proof of our respoct for the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, and of our repug- nance to extend the Brilich terrifories in that part of the globe. The only point, against which it is essential both for ourselves and for the Amer’ to provide, in the possibility of a pretension on tho of the Ni, protecting rights part iearagua government to convert the passage of the San Juan into amonopely. The object h he treaty with the United States, and of our whole , is sim- ply to promote, on the easiest terms, the execution of a rhip canal across the isthmus, and to secure its freedom and neutrality. With this view it hag been proposed to convert the city and port Into a free h&ven; and in the event of the canal being exeouted, it can hardly fail to become oneof the most important commercial positions on the globe, connecting Burope with the Australian con- tinentand the islands of the Pacifie and the eastern reas. The proposal is erecitable to the English min- istry, and the spirit in which it is made is that which ought to characterise our relations with the American people. This is not the first instance in Britaia has shown that on the fair field ef commercial competition we reek for no exclusive advantages. We ask no more than to stand on the same public rights as other nations, and we have set the ex- ample of the policy we profess by opening oxr own ports de as widely as possible to the rest of the world. . verett, though the organ of a government not pro- fessing the principles of free trade, has done justice to our motives in his communication; and, he has also sought to mark his administration by the settlement of tion of the fisheries and‘colonial trade on fair d even, it is raid, by the signature of a treaty for international copyright, to which his attention has no doubt been particularly directed by his own literary connections. It is to be feared, however, that in these matters the thread of hi Neial life wilt be ent before they can be completed, and he will leave the work The Trouble between Kossuth and Mazzini. [To the Editor of the London ated Sm—I have no opportunity, from the place where I am, of reading papers or receiving correct information; but a report reaotes me of Louis Kossuth having publicly pro- tested on account of the proclamation to the Hangeelans ra during the last insurrectionary attempt at Milan. ‘The original of the proclamation, signed by L. Kos- suth, in his own handwriting, is in my hands. It was sent to me by Kossuth, on my own requost, during the last months of his sojourn at Kutayah, for the xpress purpore of being publi:hed in the case of an in- surrectionary movement in Italy. It was never after- wards retracted, A copy of the proclamation was, at the time, deposited by me inthe hands of the Central Internal Direction fof our National Party in Italy, so that, in case I should be revented through death, orany other cause, from join- ng the mow ment, and Kossuth should be far at the time, adocument of ulliance and on appeal extromely impor tant tothe success of our indisselable national causes, should note blost.

Well, let whoever baa please compare what Maszini states with what I have stated, and no one will find an ar- ; jument to make men believe that there is a difference tween us. Mazzini explained the particulars of what I had judged su@icient to explain in generality. But I know those who would be glad to create a dissen- sion between us will insist upon my not having retracted the proclamation written at Kutahia in 1851, and in con- sequence having consented to its being used Ww! 8 ‘This would gbe strange reasoning indeed. When I was paeee at Kutahia, I was not free to judge and to act for myself, and therefore it was natural to entrust the do- cument to those who were free to judge the exigencies of. any arising opportunity, and to act accordingly.

The fact is this : Mazzini writes that the original of that proclamation, signed by me, is in hands, ‘ow, the proclamation he has in his hands is written in the Hungarian language. He gave a genuine copy of it, at the time it was written, (that is in 1861,) to the Bi- recting Italian Committee, and as he himself, unfortu- nately, was prevented,from Feing present at Milan at the: outbreak, it was not he who bad the document priuted. Those who had it done, subsequently reported to him, that they had printed the proclamation, which he hi sept them in 1851, and as he does not speak the Hanga- rian language, therefoye he believes candidly ‘that the preclamation circulated at Milan is. correct copy of that which he has from me in his hands, and thinks 13 the date was aliered, and only two such paragraphs omit. ted as indicated the more remote date.
